Journalism Under Pressure: A Look at the Press in War in Regensburg
On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, the Institute for East European Law at the University of Regensburg brings a highly relevant topic into focus: the work of journalists in war. From 2:00 to 3:00 PM, the discussion will cover security risks, misinformation, Russian propaganda, and the question of how reporting remains possible under extreme conditions.

A Lecture of Immediate Relevance
The event combines political analysis with journalistic practice. Daria Meshcheriakova, a journalist with European Pravda and POLITICO in Kyiv, speaks from personal experience about the situation in Ukraine. Her background in political science and her journalistic work in Kyiv provide professional depth and an international perspective. The afternoon will be moderated by Antje Himmelreich from the Institute for East European Law. ([ostrecht.de](https://www.ostrecht.de/mehr-als-nachrichten-die-herausforderungen-der-presse-im-krieg/))
Between Wartime Reality, Media Freedom, and European Perspective
The focus is not only on war news but also on how Ukrainian media reports on societal reforms, European integration, and political developments. This is precisely where the strength of this event lies: It opens the eyes to the role of the press as a documentation instance, as a corrective, and as a voice in times of massive uncertainty.
